Peavy pitches White Sox to 3-2 win over Twins

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Jake Peavy struck out eight over eight smooth innings, Alejandro De Aza gave Chicago the lead in the eighth with an infield single off Scott Diamond's leg and the White Sox beat the Minnesota Twins 3-2 on Wednesday.

Peavy (9-7) allowed five hits and walked two. One of the runs he gave up was unearned, due to a way-wide token pickoff throw to second base in the first inning that sailed into center field. That miscue let Ben Revere move to third, and he scored on Joe Mauer's groundout.

Danny Valencia homered in the second, but Peavy toughened up after that and had trouble in only two more innings. Denard Span lined into a double play with a runner on third to end the fifth. Mauer popped out to finish the eighth with speedsters Span on third and Revere on first.
